    How is Blake Baker viewed among the players?

    I remember commenting from the VT game (my seats are 11 rows up, right behind the D) that there was definitely a disconnect between the players and coaches in that game. It seemed like the players were resentfully doing what was being asked. The following week Diaz said he'd be more hands on...

    How is Blake Baker viewed among the players?

    If you can only see 4th and 17th, you are never going to be open to any further discussion. You'll never see the dozens of drives that defense made stops when the stakes were just as high, because you choose not to. Or the impossible field position it was constantly in because of offensive...

    That’s the most stunning stat I’ve seen. I knew it was horrible, but dammnnnnn!

    Even the best defenses are getting scored on at far higher rate these days. For three years ours in particular has had zero margin for error nearly every single week.

    That’s what life is like when you’re on the high wire every week. If you have to be perfect every mistake is magnified. Look at the Louisville game. They scored late and no one noticed because the offense did what it was supposed to do.

    The offense was the other team’s best offense.

    3rd down definitely a glaring problem last year. But I’d be pretty confident in saying our 5 year rolling average is likely Top 15-20.

    The ones that helped us get to #4 in the nation in TFLs? https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/467 And #6 in sacks? https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/466 What about them?

    Again, stats on their own are just stats. This is what these teams scored offensively through roughly 3 1/2 quarters or even deeper into those games: CMU-5 points La Tech-7 points GTech 7 points Duke-13 points Pitt-9 points Virginia-6 points FSU-10 points BCU-0 points UF-20 points UNC-20...

    You are only telling half the story. If we had a capable offense out defense would’ve been on the field a fraction of the number of snaps. Any defense has to alter its aggressiveness and will eventually give up plays if the O goes three and out literally every possession.

    How is Blake Baker viewed among the players?

    A lot of posters on here remind me of poker players who six months later are still droning on and on and on about the bad beat they took for a big pot or to get knocked out of a tournament. Chronic moping about 4th and 17 without considering the hundreds of other plays the D made all season to...
